Used to swap songs w/him in the closet of the Earl of Old Town in the early 80s in Chicago after our respective sets. 'She Came From The Karoo' was always my fav. Still have copy of Tony Bird of Paradise around here someplace. He was much loved in Chicago. 'Her eyes were leopard green' is one of my all time favorite favorite lines. In as much as 'Whatchu doin' in this zone, white man?' is one of the most frightening. It's been years. Hope he's doing well. Deserving of a MUCH wider audience I always thought.
